Does the trailer have springs or is it a frame on axle type of trailer. I have found from experience that trailers without springs if used on rough roads need to be de-rated about 50% if you want the tires to last. After all they are acting as springs and carrying the load too.

I've owned a MF 1035 for several years. In the manual, it speaks of a dealer-installed option for a front belt-driven PTO. This is presumably to run a mid-mount mower or (I'm guessing) a front snowblower. Does anyone have any experience with this option on this tractor (or close cousin MF 1030) -- how well does it run, how well is it built, etc? Also, does anyone know if this option is still available or if a matching mower or snow blower is made by someone (Woods?) Any help you could provide would be appreciated...

What is my 1725 NH worth? I have a basic 1998 model 1725 NH with 300 hrs and ag tires that I would like to sell so I could get a TC29D so I would have Hydro and live PTO. I have to go slow and sometimes raise my rear finish mower over my latteral lines for my septic because of the tall green grass. I also backup to mow under a 100 ft. row of trees along a fence. I have a Westendorf loader on it that I would like to put on my new tractor. Will the Hydro last as long as the Gear tranny? Should I think of another model or brand of tractor?
Thanks for any input.

I would go for the glideshift. The less you need the clutch the less it will wear. the glideshift is smooth to shift and has little hesitation while shifting and we have not put in any clutches to date on them so they must be working well compared to the straight gear drive.

You mention splicing the hydr. lines, and a pump. I am no mechanic, but I was always under the impression that my 3pt hydraulics were driven from the gearbox using gear oil as pressurized fluid. Does your B6000 have a front hyd. kit, or a belt driven pump?

Thanks for the tip - as for installing the reverser, I wasnt very clear. My kubota has 4 threaded bolts extending out around the PTO shaft, since the tractor is designed to accept bolt on PTO implements. I believe there was a quick install hydraulic pump attachment that could be used to power various tools. Anyhow, it will be handy (if I can find one) to install the reverser - just 4 bolts to tighten and I am off to the brush hog :)

JDC, I'm with ya. I get better results running my hoe low and slow. Adding rpm's does not seem to increase the digging power. Don't know why exactly.

And DON'T trust your FEL to hold up the front end. Use heavy duty quality jackstands all the way around.

I remember the discussions and hope the tires work out for you.

I seem to be given to loosely connected ideas this morning. I recall some discussion a long while ago. It generally was about the use of mismatched rear tires on a farm tractor and I couldn't understand why such a configuration would be used. Turned out that it was an old way of doing thing to compensate for the tendency of moldboard plows to push a tractor to the side and put more weight on one wheel. I don't know if there might be some relevance of the configuration to heavy mowers on side hills and I wish I could remember the discussion better.

Even if it worked it probably would compromise the tractor for other uses. Maybe somebody else here is more familiar with the idea.

As an afterthought I'll add that spontaneous combustion is a risk in composting. The size and moisture content of a pile should be considered. I haven't heard if commercial accelerates add to a risk of combustion or not, but it's something to be aware of. In my operation I do add soil to the leaves periodically and go back and forth with the tractor so I get a mix of soil and leaves rather than a thick layer of leaves above ground level.

I remember seeing several large piles of saw dust and chips smoldering away is a large urban park and reported it. The parks people already knew about it and the impression I got was that it wasn't uncommon for the piles to start smoldering before they disposed of them.

Does anybody has pictures of their plows on the tractors? How they have modified the buckets to accept plows?
It would be much appreciated.

I have a bead blast cabinet and have battled the same issue with water in the air line. The problem is that the heated air contains a lot of water VAPOR. A water seperator will NOT remove vapor. The vapor must condense to a liquid state for a trap to catch it. I fixed my problems by installing black iron pipe in my shop and getting some distance between the regulator and the compressor. The black iron pipe acts as a heat sink and cools the air so the vapor will condense. Then you can remove the water. I am attaching a link of the diagram I used in my shop. Its important to install the risers on the air stub down off the main line as well as install some drain valves. This was a major project, but it fixed my problems and was a LOT cheaper than buying an air dryer.

You have a killer truck ( 3/4 ton Duramax) Mines a 3500 4x4 LT crew cab. I have two duramaxs. As for towing, I have bumperpull & gooseneck trailers. The gooseneck is SUPER. I also have a JD4400 fel, 48hoe. All my trailers now have 2 7k axels w/16 inch D or E load range tires. When I bought my first trailer w/2 3500lb axels 12 years ago. I usually only had 3,000 lb loads or less. when you hit a curb when turning in town, or a pot hole on the highway too much weight is on the impacted wheel, not just 1/4 of the total weight. Bottom line, I replaced bent axles and poped 15 inch tires. Since I went with bigger axles and tires, I've had no problems and saved lots of money and time. Pay up front for heavier equipment, or pay for repairs and down time later. I personally can't afford repairs and down time.
